Water Damage Restoration in Cottonwood Lakes, CO

Cottonwood Lakes is a 1990s and 2000s subdivision in north Thornton built around a chain of ponds that double as the neighborhood's storm detention. The houses are two-stories on full basements, with the lots nearest the water often stepping down to walkout lower levels. Ponds like these fill fast in a summer thunderstorm and drain slowly through the clay, so the water table under the closest lots rises for a day or two after every big rain, and a basement that has been dry for years takes water the one July the pond comes up and stays up.

This site puts Cottonwood Lakes homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider.

Before the crew arrives, walk the pond side of the house and note where the grade runs toward the foundation and whether the sump discharge line dumps back toward the wall. Photograph the water line on the basement wall and on any boxes, and write down the time you first saw it. Those three details shorten the first visit and go straight into the log your adjuster will ask for.
